Explore Girona your way

At ToursByLocals, we believe that how you explore is just as important as where you go. That’s why every Girona tour is private, flexible, and built around you: Move at your own pace, skip the crowds, make connections and follow your curiosity. Find local guides offering private tours in Girona for every interest, including:

Art and Culture tours: Browse contemporary shows at Bòlit and pop into a ceramics or paper‑marbling studio in the Barri Vell. Your guide can also map out film locations around the Cathedral stairs and along the Onyar for a culture‑focused tour.

History tours: Walk the medieval city walls on the Passeig de la Muralla, climb the Cathedral steps, and see the Arab Baths up close. In El Call, you’ll trace the narrow lanes of the Jewish Quarter with context on daily life and key events.

Museums tours: Compare Gothic and Renaissance works at the Girona Art Museum, then explore the Jewish History Museum’s manuscripts and stone inscriptions. Add the Cinema Museum for hands‑on displays and early film gadgets that bring stories to life.

Much of the old centre is walkable, though there are many stairs and slopes. City buses cover farther spots; if mobility or time is tight, you can request a tour with private transportation.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all itinerary, you can tailor your private tour to match your interests, pace and personality with a local who knows Girona inside and out.

Walking tours & neighbourhoods

Day trip ideas from Girona

From Girona, it’s easy to branch out to small medieval towns, coastal paths, and volcanic hills, so day trips and tours here can be tailored to your love of food, art, or time outdoors.

Besalú: You can walk the 12th-century bridge, step into quiet lanes, and, when open, see the medieval mikvé. If you like history and photography, you get clean lines and stonework, with easy stops for coffee. Your tour can focus on Romanesque details and the story of the Jewish quarter.

Tossa de Mar: Beach time and a walled old town in one stop. You can walk the coastal path for sea views, climb towers, and swim in calm water in season. If small coves and fresh seafood are your thing, your tour can include a quieter beach and a short Camí de Ronda walk.

Figueres: For Dalí’s wild ideas at the Theatre-Museum and modernist corners around town. Art fans get a clear line on surrealism, while design minds spot small details on facades. Your tour can balance time at the museum with a simple bite on local market streets.

Garrotxa Volcanic Zone and Santa Pau: Lava craters, a beech forest, and a stone village. Hikers and families get soft trails and shade, while food lovers can try local beans and sausage. Your tour can pick short loops or a longer hike, then a stroll in Santa Pau’s arcaded square.

Cadaqués and Cap de Creus: White houses, clear water, and rock headlands. Photographers get sharp light and shapes, swimmers get coves when seas are calm, and walkers get cliff paths shaped by the wind. Your tour can plan the winding drive, parking spots, and the best viewpoints to keep more time outside than in the car.

A private tour with a local guide is the best way to really get to know a place. Skip the crowds, follow your interests, and see a side of Girona most travellers miss.
